Thanks Tahir! We're not making much of our anniversary this year but come this January, we are planning monthly activities leading up to our 10th.

I wonder if any other boards compulsively attract readers on a daily basis as this one does.

It really is like having a daily fix and its accessability and use is a fine tribute to you Robert.

Happy anniversary.

Congratulations Robert! I can't imagine a day without checking in on cS 1, 2 10 times a day.

You've created a great forum for us to share knowledge, experiences and become a community.

Thank you isn't enough.

It is because of this site that I have met good friends. It is because of this site that I have added exponentially to my collection. It is because of this site that I'm able to stay in touch on a daily basis with what's happening in and around my hobby.

Robert, thank you.

Happy birthday cS and Robert! I totally agree with the postings above. It has been 4 years for me and I learned a lot in that period of time on space exploration and space collection.

Thank you and congrats,

It is because of this site that I am perpetually on the threshold of bankruptcy and provoking my wife into estrangement...

This site has been incredible. From all the knowledge not only from Robert but from all the posters in this little space geek community. I have learned much. This has been 9 years (only 8 for me)of fun. Also, I must mention the sightings listings from which I was able to meet so many astronauts that I would not have other wise known about. Kudos to you Robert.

I've been enjoying collectSpace on a daily basis for some time now. Thanks for all you do!

I'd like to add both my congratulations and thanks. I'm a relative newbie but thoroughly hooked, usually getting my first update of the day on my mobile telephone on the train to work :-)

Thanks for all the good work!

I must echo everyone else's sentiments: Robert, your site is awesome! It looks great and is a joy to visit on a daily basis. And what a forum of SMART people--you all have taught me a lot! Thank you, really.

Robert, congratulations again. You've quietly worked so hard for all of us here, and believe me it hasn't gone unnoticed. THANK YOU!
